GAMI projects use ancient DNA to reconstruct ancient microbiomes, revealing insights into health, species evolution, and our changing planet over thousands of years. Given that most of the ancient microbiome data is currently centered in Europe, these projects are developing international partnerships to change that.
A figure from an upcoming GAMI review that shows the current distributions of global microbiome data sets!
The first of many. Reconstructing the ancient oral microbiomes using calcified dental plaque to understand the origins of oral disease, relationships between people and their environments, and helping communities. To join us, reach out to one of the GAMI-O leads.
Join the effort →Coming soon! Assembling ancient sedimentary microbiomes to understand the impacts of climate change, sustainable systems, and implications of unique landscape management programs.
Coming soon! Tracking down global histories of ancient gut microbes using preserved feces, sedimentary ancient DNA, and mummies.
